If the @greenparty.org.uk can run Labour this close, under their new and currently popular Prime Minister, enjoying his temporary 'bounce', what will they be able to do once the novelty wears off? 👍

Morning America. We'd just like to let you know that if (as is by no means certain) you get rid of your current leader and his cronies in 2028, your application for readmission to civilization will probably be given sympathetic consideration. Yours, the human race. ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a gorgeous song, and one of the last my old hero Alan Hull ever wrote. Here he is, leading Lindisfarne at Newcastle City Hall for the last time. Just over four months later he was dead. I'll remember him for his socialist principles and wonderful, underrated songs youtu.be/Nnu0TLMVlwY?...

What Trump and Hegseth are saying is that one of the most powerful squadrons in the US Air Force, the most power air force in human history, has been scared off by 5 half wits in a transit van. Trump is turning you into a laughing stock, lads.

Old photo: the ruins of Strome Castle occupy a headland, projecting into Loch Carron, Wester Ross, Scotland. The castle was blown up in 1602 during the Clan battles of the period. The modern safety railing doesn't do much for the atmosphere, but that's quite a nasty drop!

Andy Burnham spoke about removing barriers to public ownership of water. A small step. But would he even have gone this far without constant pressure from @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk? I doubt it. A vote for Zack next week will help keep the pressure up! #RenationaliseWater

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Whilst I believe Andy Burnham is a far better fit for the country than Keir Starmer ever was, @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk are the party who fit the vast majority of my beliefs and values more than any other. I’ve nailed my colours to the mast! ✅

I strongly believe schools should bring children together rather than try to impose one religious identity on them. If you agree - please add your name and call on the Education Secretary to introduce inclusive assemblies for all, and to keep dangerous Christian Nationalism OUT of our schools.
